Is this a good choice for an avatar, or should I go with something more revealing expression-wise? Sexier, maybe?

Headshots don't make great avatars, IMO.  The sexier the better...and, you have lots of those.  smile

EDIT:  btw, be careful not to use anything too sexy or revealing or it may get taken down.  To be honest, I don't know the line exactly.

It's a good idea to change your avatar photo from time to time. This is a lovely shot that will work well as an avatar.

Basically, you want your avatar photo to grab the attention of someone who is browsing profiles looking for a model. The more engaging the photo, whether it be through creativity, weirdness, or just plain sheer attractiveness, the more likely you are to have your profile clicked on for further consideration. Keep in mind, that posting an obviously sensual photo as an avatar will get you a lot of interest from photographers who shoot boudior or various nudes. Whether or not you use such a photo as an avatar depends on how you want to brand yourself as a model. An outstanding, creative headshot will get you noticed by beauty and glamour photographers. An artistic B&W avatar will appeal to the more classically oriented artist. And a "sexy" avatar will appeal to the photographers who shoot exclusively "sexy" content. Sometimes a full-figure photo is best, but a head shot is fine too. I personally like this headshot, although I think your previous avatar head shot was more creative and engaging.

What do you guys think about this one? The smile makes it cute and inviting I think, while also being sexy and almost teasing. I'm trying to capture it all in one image! Hehe.

It is an adorable smile! The phone is a bit distracting, but the candid feel is very playful and inviting. I think there are better choices in your portfolio, but this one is certainly worthy of being your avatar for a while if you like it. smile

I like this one as an avatar. It is sexy, has a hint of edginess, and your exceptionally beautiful and genuine smile draws in the viewer  IMO.

But you do have lots of viable options. And changing your avatar occasionally is a good idea, as has been mentioned. I predict you'll have no problem getting shoots.
